ORDER

Defendants have moved for summary judgment on all claims against them in this
lawsuit. Mr. Holloway may file a response opposing the motion, if he wishes. To be
considered, the response must be filed within fourteen (14) days of this Order.1
In opposing the motion for summary judgment, Mr. Holloway may attach
affidavits that he or others have signed. Because affidavits are sworn statements, they
must be either notarized or declared under penalty of perjury (see 28 U.S.C. § 1746).
Unsworn statements will not be considered in deciding the motion for summary
judgment. And to be considered, an affidavit must be based on the personal knowledge
of the person signing it.
